Secure file transfer: that's where you have a system where USB drives are created and tagged with the secure file transfer system, then they are checked in at a kiosk prior to installation on the endpoint. If the endpoint has an interactive OS, the kiosk can be a service running locally that blocks untagged USBs or tagged USBs whose contents don't match the file manifest. For headless devices, a hardware kiosk would serve that function at the entry point to the secured area.

What is the proper way of providing the client machines with the needed updates and the firewall with access to update their malware signatures in a high secured network where internet access is not provided to the firewall and the client machines?

just a couple of cell phones here, a few laptops, and a printer.  I did forget my work laptop, as I didn't work yesterday.

I went and bought a ASUS RT-AX86U Pro to replace my NetGear WAC104, I have them both running together until I get my wife and daugther to move over to the new network, then I will take out the Cisco 2950-12 and ASA5525 Firewall, and the WAC104, I could also probably pull out my Cisco 3550 also, and go 100% wireless with the  RT-AX86U connected directly to the cable modem.

in the end-to-end scenario, this is kind of what a VPN does,  creates a tunnel between 2 endpoints, although to get there, it does go hop by hop, but it's just that the path is transparent, and the network engineer would never see the real hop by hop path (e.g. in a traceroute).
